Bra fitting help » So close to perfect-slight cup wrinkling
Curvy Kate » Princess Balcony Bra (CK6001) » 28D 28:4
Issue resolved
Narrowing the gore made it fit!
Original problem
Yet another experimental bra! I really love how it feels but I do get some cup wrikling and cutting in. I put an extender on the back to see if the fit would change, because the wires do 'pull' a bit(pics labelled 'with extender').
Other than the top issues (Which I might just stitch up a smidge), does this seem to fit?

helpfulI think the cups are deeper and less tall than your own shape. It is likely quite wearable with an alteration, especially since you seem like you have firmer tissue (Avoiding the problem of boobs that "climb out" the top of the cups as the day goes on). Ultimately though you do want to look for bras that are really nice and open at the top, or else some tall plunges or generously cut full cup styles which may avoid the cutting in.

LOL at boobs climbing out. Yeah, they don't wander too much. I have a Marcie on order and am on the hunt for more open ones! And thanks! I needed a name and the DVD was right next to my desk. :)

Yes, Cleo Marcy might be a good choice. Other bras you might want to try:
1. Betsey Johnson Stocking Stripe
2. Betsey Johnson Eyelet Lace
3. b.tempt'd b.wow'd
4. Cleo Neve
5. Curvy Kate WildGenerally most of the Betsey Johnson and b.tempt'd bras are a good choice for shallow shapes. Curvy Kate moulded bras are also good. I would stay away from the unmoulded Curvy Kates.

I've tried both Betsy Johnsons and the Neve. I kept the Neve (because it's unreturnable) but it's too shallow for me and required a lot of wire bending and extender using to make it reasonable. The Betsys were way too shallow or just odd fitting on me. I do have lumpy/cysty boobs and the way shallower, foam t-shirt kind of bras press me down just hurts (much like my previous too small 32b/c bras), so that might be part of that issue. So far the Marcie is not hurting me and working nicely(but just got it today).

I am glad that the Cleo Marcy is working out well for you. Here are some other Cleo bras that fit similarly to the Marcy:
PS I heart your screen name :-)
